Instructions

  1. 1 Fill a bowl with ice and cold water.
  2. 2 Fill a saucepan with cold water; place over medium heat. Stir in vinegar and salt; bring to a gentle, slow simmer. Reduce heat to low.
  3. 3 Break each egg into separate small ramekins. Place one ramekin close to the water's surface; gently add egg to the simmering water. Let egg white set, 1 to 2 minutes. Gently lift egg from the bottom of the pan using a silicone spatula to prevent sticking. Repeat with remaining egg. Cook until white is firm and yolk is runny, about 6 minutes.
  4. 4 Lift poached egg from simmering water using a slotted spoon; gently transfer to the ice water to stop the cooking process. Reheat eggs for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes in very gently simmering water; remove with a slotted spoon. Tap bottom of slotted spoon containing egg on a dry paper towel to remove any excess water before serving.

  1. 1 Fill a wide pan with 4 cups water (about 3 inches deep) and bring to a boil over high heat. Once the water boils, turn the heat down to just below a simmer (there should be no bubbles).

  3. 3 Set a timer for 3 minutes. After 3 minutes, use a slotted spoon to lift your eggs from the water, one at a time. Give each a little jiggle to check that the whites are set. If not, dip back in for 30 seconds more. Remove and serve immediately with salt and pepper. Your yolk should run when pierced with a fork.
